This book has increased my use of Ruby, and encouraged me to blow the dust covering the GoF book. " Mike Stock? "Design Patterns in Ruby is a great way for programmers of object-statically typed languages to learn how design patterns appear in, a more flexible dynamic language like Ruby." Rob Sanheim?, Ruby Ninja, Relevance Most design pattern books are based on C + + and Java. In this book, Russ Olsen demonstrates how Ruby combines strength and elegance with patterns, and write more sophisticated, effective software with far fewer lines of code. After reviewing the history, concept and purpose of design patterns, Olsen offers a quick tour of the Ruby language sufficient to allow any experienced software developer to immediately utilize patterns with Ruby?. This book is especially calls attention to Ruby features that simplify the use of patterns, including dynamic typing, the closing code, and "mixins" for reuse code more easily. Fourteen of the "Gang Four" classic pattern is considered from the viewpoint of Ruby, explaining what problems each pattern finish, discussing whether traditional implementations make sense in the Ruby environment, and introducing Ruby-specific improvements. You will find opportunities to implement patterns in just one or two lines of code, not repeated endlessly that conventional languages often require. Design Patterns in Ruby also identifies new patterns of innovative emerging from the Ruby community. This includes how to create custom objects with metaprogramming, as well as an ambitious rail-based "Convention Over Configuration" pattern, which is designed to help integrate entire applications and frameworks. Engaging, practical, and accessible, Design Patterns in Ruby will help you build better software while making your experience with the Ruby programming more useful.
